Down as they enter the home state for the white house. It is all happening now. We begin with a fox alert on Hurricane Matthew. The storm is pounding northern florida and closes in on South Carolina and georgeia. I am jon scott. The eye of the storm is passing by. Parts of georgia under mand tory and voluntary evacuations. We have fox team coverage. Johnathon is standing by and first to garrett live in jacksonville, florida. Garrett . Reporter jon and jenna, we are an hour away of feeling the full brunt of Hurricane Matthew. But we with are seeing gusts of 50 miles per hour. And an hour from now, they will go to 60, 80 and 100 miles per hour. And the winds in their own right will be dangerous. Thats not what officials are concerned b. This is the st. Johns river that runs through Downtown Jacksonville and goes to the ocean. When Hurricane Matthew comes through. Well see 6 or 9 feet of storm surge downtown. You can see the bridge over here in the end. If it rises 6 9 feet it will cover the bridge and railings. And in the neighborhoods. That is all up in peoples home and yards and garages. Officials told people to evacuate. Do not play around with the storm. If you at a home for the evacuation areas, you will be be on your own. We dont know how quickly well get there to help you. 450,000 people were ordered to be evacuated and officials are not sure how many people followed through with the evacuation. Hopefully 50 percent. Many of the other folks on the beach said they will stay in their home and thats where the worst of the storm is hitting an hour from now. And well keep a track as officials keep an eye on the storm and beach front communities. You mentioned the river behind you, garrett. The storm surge pushes right up the river and inland . Absolutely. And the officials have said really, they are not sure how bad the damage is going to be be in the communities. Frankly many of the areas have never seen flooding before. That is how historic it s. And this storm will redraw the coast line. And eye of the storm staying offshore and the worst of the winds are not hitting land at least not yet. Well continue to monitor what has happened in jacksonville. Hurricane matthew steering east of the southeast coast line and thankfully so. Well bring someone whose team is first in history of forecasting. He is a forecaster for Colorado State university and department of atmosphereicking science and joining us on the phone from hawaii. His expertise is in the hurricanes in the atlantic and hurricanes in general. To tell us about the storm in particular, what is noteworthy to you . Hi, jenna, the storm did quite a bit of damage in through the caribbean. It is the first hurricane on record and followed by cuba and the bap hammas. And there are 300 fatalilities in heighty and obviously coming to florida and tracking up on the east coast of florida. Fortunately the center of the storm remained offshore and it looks like it will remain offshore. But it is a Significant Impact and the water levels are are rising in jacksonville and potential for storm surge. And i saw the governor of South Carolina nicki haley was concerned about the storm and all of the floods from last october as well. Certainly it is a storm that is moving slowly and there will be be a lot of rain and a lot of storm surge from this event. Winds will be a factor but less of a factor than yesterday. Certainly strong winds and heavy rain and potential of significant storm surge as well. Certainly not a storm to be be taken lightly. What is the biggest risk to Public Safety . Reporter i think water inunidation from a combination of heavy rains and storm surge. The storm surge potentially 6 9 feet in areas and that is not a place you want to be if you are looking out. I want to look as we continue to look at matthew. You look at forecasting over all. Is it consistent with your forecast and what else do you see as far as major storms beyond Hurricane Matthew. So far it has been average. The numbers are going to come in close to normal assuming no other additional Significant Developments later on in the season. Over all, the season has been quiet until matthew. We havent had much hurricane activity until matthew. But the last ten days or so it is active. And now you can see how it has been with matthew. One of the things you can see on the screen, the tracker for matthew, and our viewers will notice that there is a path that rurps matthew back to the southern part of florida. What conditions have to rise that matthew hits the areas it impacted one more time . There is that potential. I think the storm would be be a shell of its former self. They are forecasting it to be a tropical depression and encountering strong winds and upper levels of the atmosphere. And also very, very dry air. And it should start to weaken significantly. And whether the storm makes landfall would be a form of its former self. And our viewers will notice the edge is off some of the reporting on Hurricane Matthew and feeling that it is not as bad as it can could be. I am curious whether or not that is appropriate considering we have a cat dpoer three hurricane going up the coast and hasnt each hit georgia or South Carolina yet. Yeah, as the storm goes along, the biggest concern is the storm surge and unidation. And wobbles in the track has a potential to bring the storm on store further up in georgia and South Carolina. The event certainly is not over. And certainly focus of the attention will focus up north. And certainly. And that is a much needed perspective, you are a expert in Research Science and hurricanes. Thank you very much. Well take you inside of americans election headquarters. Both candidates for full preparation mode. Donald trump is spending today prepping at trump tower and joined by new Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Reince Priebus. Hillary clinton is in chappaqua. She is looking to maintaining her momentum as what was considered she was success. She has a three point lead in florida and two point lead in new hampshire. Well bring in our political panel. Nina easton a fox news reporter. And michael warren. On line editor for the weekly standard. Poll numbers indicate it is an important debate for both candidates especially if donald trump wants to stay t the National Polls are showing Hillary Clinton taking a lead and i this is troubling news for trump and the trump organization. During the last cycle in 2012, the polls were tighter and we know that obama had a comfortable win in the end. The other coming out in the polls, more people are coming home to a major party candidate. Garjohnson, the libertarian candidate had a number of goofs on Foreign Policy and that has not served well. And that has helped Hillary Clinton, too those factors as well as the performance in the last debate and the fallout in the days after that will affect what we see in the polls today. And going into this weekend and next debate. Well look at the university polls hot off of the press. The national poll. Hillary clinton is preferreded 45 percent of those surveyed and trump at 40 percent. And gary johnson at six and jill stein at three percent. Last month, or two and half weeks ago, the same poll found the race too close to call. And now it is a five point lead to Hillary Clinton, what happened . The debate happened and trump struggled to break out where he is in this poll and where he was over the last several week and months which is around 40 or 42 percent support and certainly the not as high as 45 percent which is where Hillary Clinton finds herself. The thing that changes, is that Hillary Clinton got a lot more support from the undecided voters that are moving to one of the Major Party Candidates after a oak debate p performance. And after a rocky september. We have another month of this campaign and anything can happen. And we were just talking a month ago about how the conjectory is not good for Hillary Clinton. But trump could turn it around. But the problem is, there is fewer undecide voters for trump or clinton to pick up. And trump has to get a bigger percentage and this is why it is a problem for him and sundays debate is so critical. If he can hold it together in the way he did for the first 20 minutes or so he might be able to right the ship. Clinton was able to do that for herself and getting tougher for donald trump to right his own ship. Charlie cook is long time author of the Cook Political Report and an expert political analyst and he writes this. The race has fallen in a predictable pattern. When donald trump veers off message and Hillary Clinton perforps well her lead swells. When trump sticks to the script and clinton goes through a bumpy. Her edge is dropping down 1 or 2 point and deadine. Most of the time she is up 3 5 points. But nina, what we are see negligent latest polling, people on the fence, and who are getting off of the fence, are not necessarily falling on to the donald trump side. Thats right. He clearly has to get beyond the core base he has in the low 40 and hes had trouble to do that when hes off script. And debates are off script. And Hillary Clinton went in to that first debate knowing he would be off script and had to get under his skin which is what she did with the Miss Universe episode and came back to haunt sxhim he couldnt let it go. Donald trump and his tweet storm as we remembered which doesnt serve him well either. So it is a tough, and debates going to be tough for him because they are not reading from a teleprompter or scripted and she jammed that Miss Universe reference where it didnt seem to belong and she baited him into something. Thank you very much. Do not forget all day sunday on americans election headquarters. Fox team will have the analysis before and after the debate. Watch it on 9 00 p. M. Eastern time. A vessel under attack. And Hurricane Matthew making its way to georgia and South Carolina. The pressing concerns for the pressing concerns for officials in those states, next.

Hurricane matthew is battling floefrmentd and leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power. The carolinas are bracing for impact as well. Johnathon 200 miles north of jacksonville in folly beach. You can see the conditions here are deter areiating. The heavy waves are pounding on the peer and look how far the water has crossed the beach. The manager of the hotel said it comes up to the porch when had there is Severe Weather brewing out in the atlantic such as a major hurricane which we may be dealing with on folly beach. It is raining hard and we sent our droep up. Look at the drone, you can see the waterses of the atlantic churning along the beach area here and a concern for the folly beach and islands will be storm surge. In a worst case scenario. They could be dealing with storm surge of up to eight feet. And so in flood prone areas, they are making reverse 911 call and going door to door to urge residents to it go to higher ground. Governor nicki haley made an appeal to stragglers. This is the last time you will hear my voice when i am asking you to evacuate. We need everybody to consider evacuateing and really take this very seriously. And so far 310000 carolinians heeded evacuation notices and state figureses would like that to be be half a million. Thank you very much. Folly beach, South Carolina, waiting for the storm. There is new information on missing malaysian fight. They confirmed a recent piece of the wing does in fact belong to the missing plane. That was discovered back in may. Experts found a part number linking it mh370. Several pieces of the wreckage came ashore nor the indian ocean. The search continues for the rest of the plane off australias west coast. Also in this the indian ocean yemeni rebels said they sunk a vessel off of the coast. It suffered a rocket attack. You can see the holes in the bow and significant fire damage. The veszil is currently operated by National Marine dredging company and on a humanitarian mission to rescue civilian. At last check the ship was being towed away from yemen. No word on injuries on board. What do candidates need to do ahead of the next match up . Howard kurtz gives us his take and Hurricane Matthew far from over as torrential rainfall and dangerous storm surge pose a threat on the southeast coast. , the night off. Make tonight a manwich night even though the eye of Hurricane Matthew has not come ashore it is slamming florida before going up the predicted course of the east coast. Two areas that have yet to feel the full area of the storm. Storm is toppling tree and power line and leaving hundreds of thousands of people without pour in florida. Heavily Populated Areas in the southern part of the state were spared because the eye of the storm hung just offshore. Officials are warning people they are not out yet. Storm surge remains a problem be and the magnitude of the danger comes in to focus and learn that the death toll in heighty stands at 842. There is one confirmed death in florida. Hillary clinton and donald trump preparing to go toe to toe. Both candidates are preparing for the big face off. Hillary clinton is in new york city. And donald trump at trump tower where Reince Priebus and Chris Christie are helping him to get prepared. Howie, you have thoughts of what needs to help for both candidates. Tell us about that. First of all, it is it a different format in st. Louis. It is a town hall and Anderson Cooper and Abcs Martha Raddatz and less room for the candidates to it attack each other. And every four years, i often say for all of the Media Attention in the debates, they move the needle little. I am not sure it was this case. Hofstra debate was a missed opportunity to move his number and expand his base. And this is a rematch and a chance for trump to not only score points who did well on the long island debate. But expand his appeal and be president ial. Undefinable quality. And people know it when they see it. When trump handles the xx factor. What are you talking about. A reference to his standing with woman. It is no secret in this campaign he has a big gender combam. Hillary clinton is up with the women in the polls that we have seen. It is interesting, you will tomorrow the end of the first debate, donald trump said i could Say Something rough and i shpt say. It and he made it clear it was bill clintons past. And some said on tv Hillary Clinton was an enabler. And trump said the gossipy post that he will not bring up the clinton sex scandal and probably a wise decision. It doesnt get him much. Much of the country was through the impoachment ordeal and knows about bill clintons past and a chance for do other things that might appeal to suburban woman who hes had a hard time to connect with. Lester holt, and saw the Media Coverage post that debate and a vicepresident ial debate and the media reaction and coverage to that. And how does that set up this debate differently and how the media is digesting the headline and reporting on that in the week to come. I am convinced no moderator can come away unscathed. However Anderson Cooper and martha raddatz. Two moderator and t
